Import Tips
• Verify wheel specifications match the target vehicle type (sedans/SUVs) to avoid misclassification as trailer wheels under 8708.70.60
• Include engineering drawings and fitment certifications in documentation to prove compatibility with motor vehicles of 8701-8705
• Ensure DOT markings if for on-road use; common pitfall is importing unmarked wheels mistaken for off-road or racing parts
